Construction of water projects

NACE v2.0 Code: F42.91

About construction of water projects

NACE code 42.91, 'Construction of water projects', encompasses a vital industry responsible for the development and maintenance of critical water infrastructure. This industry plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliable supply of water resources, supporting various economic activities and meeting the essential needs of communities worldwide. From the construction of dams and reservoirs to the installation of water treatment facilities, the work carried out under this NACE code is integral to the broader economy and the well-being of society.

Production process

The construction of water projects typically involves a multi-stage process. It begins with extensive planning and feasibility studies to determine the most suitable locations and design specifications. This is followed by the excavation and earthmoving work required for the construction of dams, canals, and other water storage structures. Specialized equipment, such as heavy machinery and specialized tools, is utilized to ensure the precise and efficient execution of these projects. Additionally, the installation of water treatment systems, pumping stations, and distribution networks are crucial components of the overall construction process.

Production inputs

The construction of water projects requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as concrete, steel, and various construction aggregates. Specialized machinery, such as excavators, cranes, and pumps, are essential for the successful completion of these projects. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, including civil engineers, construction workers, and technicians, to carry out the various tasks involved in the construction and installation of water infrastructure.

Production outputs

The primary output of the construction of water projects is the development and maintenance of water infrastructure, including dams, reservoirs, canals, and water treatment facilities. These outputs are then consumed by a range of other NACE codes, such as 36.00 Water collection, treatment and supply, 37.00 Sewerage, and 38.21 Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste, which rely on the water resources and infrastructure provided by the construction of water projects industry.
